Scenes That I Love: The Opening of the 1989 Academy Awards


Hi everyone!  Do you know what today is?

That’s right — it’s Oscar Day!

In order to prepare for my favorite holiday, I figured that I would go on YouTube and look at a few old Oscar production numbers.  In doing so, I came across the infamous Rob Lowe/Snow White dance number that opened the 1989 Academy Awards.  I was only three years old when this was first broadcast but I still like to think that, as this endless dance number was broadcast live across the world, I was sitting in front of the TV and telling myself that I could have done a better job with the choreography.

Incidentally, Snow White was played by an actress named Mary Ellen Bowman.  I have no idea if she’s a relative.
